Description DeMus 2018-03-10 22:18:32 UTC

I just booted my computer and started Discover to install a package. Installing the package was done without asking me for my password. When I uninstalled the same package I was asked for a password.
Is this by design or is it really a bug?

This behavior is defined by your distro's packagekit polkit policy configuration.
